SUPPORT OR EXHIBIT AT THE IBC

The International Biometric Society, the primary sponsor of IBC 2026, is an international membership organization promoting the development and application of statistical and mathematical theory and methods in the biosciences, including agriculture, biomedical science and public health, ecology, environmental sciences, forestry, and allied disciplines. The Society welcomes statisticians, mathematicians, biological scientists, and others devoted to interdisciplinary efforts in advancing the collection and interpretation of information in the biosciences.

The International Biometric Conference (IBC), held biennially at sites around the world, brings together statisticians and others interested in the development and application of statistical and mathematical theory and methods in the biosciences. The program includes oral and poster presentations of methodological advances, applications to specific subject-matter challenges, and other educational offerings. 

Reach a Wider Audience

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, it is our pleasure to bring IBS’s International Biometric Conference to Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea. The city’s official slogan is "Seoul, My Soul", meaning that the city can fill one’s soul. And we believe this is true!

A proud legacy, rich history and popular culture have helped to shape the Seoul of today. In addition, Seoul continues to be a fast-moving city, with each year bringing new innovations and advancements, rapidly transforming the city into the technological landscape it is today. The International Biometric Society and our local organizers are eager to make a lasting impression on the city, as we welcome our delegates from six continents for July 12-16, 2026.

Our diverse community comes together for the science, and stays for the relationships and the unique experience offered at every IBC! Your organization will be recognized by our global audience for supporting their community. Key statistics include:

> Celebrating diversity

In addition to seeking greater diversity, not only in our speaker lineup but our audience as well, our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs have been integrated into the 2022 International Biometric Conference. The Society wishes to offer our delegates the chance to engage with and celebrate professionals from various regions and backgrounds.

  • In partnership with the Council For Women in Statistics, the Florence Nightingale Award is an opportunity for the Society to recognize candidates who have demonstrated exceptional scholarship while also displaying a record of service and care for the cause of women, and other honorable causes, that raise the standing of disadvantaged groups in the profession. Companies and institutions have an opportunity to show support for this program as part of Closing Ceremony. 
  • The new IBS Mentorship Program connects experienced professionals with those in earlier career stages. We believe that both mentor and mentee have opportunities to learn from each other. And thanks to the 2022 IBC, we can extend the reach of this new program to an in-person audience. A mentorship lounge will be open at various times throughout the conference. Companies and institutions have an opportunity to show support for this initiative as part of Mentorship Program
  • In keeping with our desire to connect delegates from all career stages, the Young Statisticians’ Social Event will once again bring the youth of our profession together for a few hours of networking and camaraderie! Companies and institutions have an opportunity to show support for this initiative as part of a Young Statisticians Program support opportunity.
  • The Society is interested in seeing faces from all around the world at the IBC. Our long-standing Travel Awards Program offers companies and institutions the opportunity to sponsor one or more delegates from lower-and-middle-income countries to attend the entire IBC. Companies and institutions have an opportunity to show support for this program as part of Travel Awards support, enabling us to serve even more delegates.

> Celebrating the planet

We value the global nature of our audience, and the unique places they call home. And through the IBC, we and our supporters have an opportunity to serve our audience while also serving the planet. We see the importance of recycling programs, clean air and water, and the need to preserve our natural resources. The Society is taking steps to limit paper programs, increase the use of recyclable materials throughout the conference, and expand its recorded session and mobile application offerings in 2022. Some offerings present the opportunity for companies and institutions to enjoy increased visibility and recognition. You can show support for this initiative as part of a Green Support, Water Station, Recorded Programming or Mobile Application support option.
